"A collect call in Canada and the United States, known as a reverse charge call in other parts of the English-speaking world, is a telephone call in which the calling party wants to place a call at the called party's expense " don't know if this is the accurate explanation for that.

So in this case if I am calling from Poland I will not get charged and the called party will get charged?

Not sure dude, I just tried googling it. haha

Haha nice =D I also tried and it looks like we don't have to pay and the called party which is the one that we are calling will get charged

That also explains the reverse charge. Normally when we call somebody we get charged. So the reverse is that they get charged and not we

Skype call got disconnected after 3 hours and 2 minutes. Tried calling again and it said waiting hours up to 3 hours. Fucking phone service!!!

"The rate at the Aloft (Montreal) is $325 per night plus tax for single occupancy and an additional $200 for an adult or $150 for a child under 12." and they're working on a refund policy in case test comes back early. Clearly neither the hotels nor the government were sufficiently prepared to launch this.

I'm not a legal student but I'm pretty sure under Canadian law you have to state or provide a refund policy to customers before taking payment from them. That's totally cray that they don't have this determined yet. Also super info on pricing. Thanks.

None of this makes sense, why only 5 stars and above hotels are chosen for 3 days quarantine. So, basically none of the smaller hotels meet the requirements of IRCC for security and other.. why??

For a PCR test? That's very cheap.

In India a PCR test is Rs. 850 which comes to around 15 CAD. The result usually comes in less than 24 hours.

same happened to me. Call disconnected after 3 hours 3 mins.
It is very irritating. We have no idea if they are actually on the other side of the phone or not.

This is very concerning especially for those who are travelling on Feb 22nd and 23rd.
I am trying for the 4rth time today.

This is ridiculous. They should have invest into online booking and use those funds collecting from us and make up. Many people will not going to be happy. Phone booking is flop. one more call that's it for the day. already spend 10hrs just on the call waiting 2hrs than call ends automatically.

 

[Bluejayscardinals]

A call centre for booking hotels is bad. A call centre that only operates 15 hours a day is plain stupid.

I'm all for understanding the need to deter travel but then maybe stop issuing study permits, work permits, refugee claims too? Like you cannot have it both ways.

This is also plain dumb.
"Travellers will receive email confirmation of their accommodation within 4 hours of booking."

Why does it take 4 hours to confirm a booking? Are they manually processing hotel bookings?

True!
Now I feel like they are trying to force everyone to postpone the plans. This is insane! Never expected this from the Gov.

I hope they make it far better from tomorrow morning (8 AM EST).

"One Twitter user said she was told that all passengers must prepay the hotel room and it is non-refundable even if the test results come back earlier than three nights. Here’s what she told me about Toronto airport hotel quarantine prices. I can’t confirm these but I see no reason she’d make them up:

Sheraton Gateway at Pearson Airport $319 single, $444 double NO PETS

Four Points Sheraton $309 single, $509 double PETS ALLOWED

ALT Hotel Pearson $399 single, $439 double PETS ALLOWED

Holiday Inn $329 single, $539 double PETS ALLOWED

With three night minimums, that would be anywhere from $957 (plus taxes) for single occupancy at the Sheraton Gateway (which is connected to the airport) to $1,617 for two people at the Holiday Inn, plus taxes. My source told me that includes food, transportation and security costs."
